Briana “Bri” Lariviere, PT, DPT

Bri is a Camarillo local and a graduate of Adolfo Camarillo High School. She attended Pepperdine University, where she competed on the Women’s Soccer team for four years and graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine in 2015. After completing her degree at Pepperdine and before pursuing her education in Physical Therapy, she worked as a Physical Therapy Technician here at George Erb Physical Therapy (GEPT) for several years where she developed a passion for the science and art of Physical Therapy. She went on to earn her Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX in 2021. During her doctoral program, she worked closely with her professors and mentors to acquire advanced evaluative and manual therapy skills that extended beyond the classroom. She also conducted research on Personalized Blood Flow Restriction Training.

Following her DPT education, Bri worked as an Outpatient Orthopedic Physical Therapist in O’ahu, Hawai’i, where she had the opportunity to work with numerous dancers, athletes, and individuals suffering from chronic pain. In March 2023, she returned to Camarillo and GEPT to continue her career and serve the community that nurtured her. Her primary areas of interest include orthopedic rehabilitation and sports rehabilitation for patients of all ages and activity levels. She firmly believes that “movement is medicine.” Although her college sports background is in soccer, Bri also  has experience in volleyball, track, softball, dance, and track and field, allowing her to connect with a wide range of athletes. Bri’s mission is to humbly serve and love on others from a place of empathy, respect, and trust.

During her leisure time, you’re likely to find her spending quality time with friends and family, savoring delicious food, staying active, watching sports, or making friends with people’s dogs.
